Confessions of a successful trader

Tell each to trade the other's account.

 

you sort of ignored the request. How do you have all this intimate knowledge of St.Louis trading ability????

 

Dude, all you have to do is go back couple pages where Stlou put on the trade at 9:36am Sept 14 and follow what he did. My question was what caused him to make the decision to short POT before and during market open.

 

I just shorted 40k bby on the eps miss avg price of 38.76. Too much size prob, but will see what happens

 

well bby now at 39.63 and getting painful, im up to 44k shrs at 38.81, sticking with it.

 

I confess i've dug in my heels on bby and am now going to MCD for a fat filled breakfast

 

Well this bby looks to have shot my day early, i'm down to 30k short and a -23k realized PnL. Also, im looking to go long ebay if it dips after the open.

 

I went ahead and covered all the bby given how bad it was acting and got a bunch of this ebay, about 93k shrs at 24.35 realized PnL negative 63k on the day

 

so much for your earlier claims. You impress way too easily

 

Bot 3k ebay sept 25 strike calls for avg price of just under 12 cents, i still feel like this thing has a shot at trading towards 25 today. If the ebay turns out a loser too, i will have to declare "brown thumb" status, cut down my size and try to rebuild some confidence.
